Cold Weather Reminders
1/15/2024
As we slowly come out of our first major cold snap of the winter, please remember to check the sewer vents on your roof on a regular basis during extreme temperatures to ensure they don't freeze over and trap dangerous gases inside your home. Please also keep an eye on your water meters, particularly if they are located in an exterior crawl space or next to an uninsulated wall, to make sure they are being kept sufficiently heated/protected from the cold and don't freeze. Thank you!

REMINDER!! Weekly Garbage Collection Will Now Be On THURSDAYS Beginning December 21
12/14/2023
G&G Garbage has requested that Richey's weekly garbage collection day be moved from Friday to Thursday. The Town has agreed to this new schedule and feels that it will be a positive for our community for a couple of reasons. First, if our garbage is unable to be picked up on a given Thursday (for example, because of severe weather), it is much more likely that G&G can reschedule us for Friday versus coming back over the weekend. Second, people who are not in Town on Fridays, and/or leave town on Friday for the weekend, may be hesitant to set out their totes on Friday morning and leave them out all weekend; Thursday pick-ups will alleviate this concern as well.
